Chapter 14

Alyssa's P.O.V.

I put my notebook down when I heard my doorbell ringing. I hopped up and grabbed my purse before opening the door to a smiling Nate.

"Hey Lissa." He said, hugging me tight.

"Hey."

"You ready to go?" He asked me. I nodded my head and pulled away from his embrace. I locked the door and followed him down the steps of my apartment. He took his hand in mine and I followed him to his car. I got inside and we started driving.

"Thanks for giving me a ride." I smiled at my best friend.

"No problem."

"So what's new with you?" I asked him.

"Well I still haven't gotten the girl I want yet."

"Have you talked to her yet?"

"I guess you could say that..." He said.

"What do you mean?"

"I talk to her but she doesn't seem like she's really that interested. Ya know?"

"Yeah. That sucks. She'll probably come round once she realizes how much of an irresistible butt you are." I teased.

"Hey!" He said, acting to be hurt. I just laughed.

"What's new with you?" He asked.

"Well I got another job." I started.

"What? How do you even have time for another job?" He asked.

"You have to find time I guess."

"Yeah I guess so. What kind of a job is it?"

"It's in modeling."

"Oh that's cool. You've definitely got the body for it." He said.

"Shut up." I said.

"It's true." I just laughed.

"What company is it for?" I was hesitant to tell him at first because he was so over protective but I had to tell him because he would just find out later and be even more mad.

"Victoria's Secret." I said.

"No. Tell me you're fucking kidding me." He said, now angry.

"No."

"Why the hell would you get a job there? Why do you want to show your body to the world?" He asked, his anger building by the second.

"It's my life and I can do what I want. I don't have to have your permission." I said, trying to remain calm.

"You could have found any other job but you decided to be a fucking lingerie model?!" He yelled.

"Yes! You can't control me! I can't help what job I get! I have to take whatever oppurtunity that comes my way or I will end up on the streets! You don't have to worry about any of that! You just get everything handed to you!" I yelled back. It was silent for a moment before he finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, Alyssa. I shouldn't try to control you. I just worry about you. You're my best friend and I don't want you to get hurt." He said, in a calm voice.

"It's okay." I said, quietly. We talked for a few more minutes until he pulled up outside of the coffee shop that I worked at.

"Thanks for the ride, Nate. Sorry I yelled at you." I smiled.

"It's fine." I went to shut the door but Nate stopped me.

"Wait!"

"What?"

"Umm...I was just wondering....I mean you don't have to but will you go on a date with me tonight?" He asked. I was shocked at his words. We had known each other for years and I had never thought about him in that way. I didn't want to turn him down and who knows it might be fun.

"Sure. What time?"

"Is 9:00 alright?"

"Sounds good to me."

"Okay. See you then."
